Oh, Camille Paglia, what are you doing? We know you've talked to Us Weekly before about relevant issues like Britney's vagina and Jennifer Aniston's victimhood. But giving a sincere political evaluation of Hillary Clinton on the celebrity magazine's Website, directly on the eve of her most important contest? What, was there static on the receiver and you thought they were calling from The Week? In response to Hillary's evasive answer on 60 Minutes when she was asked whether or not she thought Barack Obama was a Muslim, Paglia had this to say:

The turnover came swiftly on the heels of four Obama wins over the weekend, in primaries in Maine, Washington state, Nebraska, and Louisiana. Obama now holds a small delegate lead. The appointment of Williams seems to indicate that Hillary is in fighting mode again, and we remember how that went last month.
